Post shed pics, getting ready to post for sale

[MotleyCrue]

This is one of the normals that hatched for me from my Motley het Anery x Unknown coupling post shed. There's only one cuz the others were out of focus.

She looks Oketee to me, with the Oranges spots between the saddles. But there is a lot of gray towards the tail end which says Miami phase to me. I will post some more tonite.

Any educated guesses as to morph?

She's a classic het. motley, possible het anery. Okeetees are a locality, as are Miamis. Okeetees have become a linebred 'morph', generally with thick black saddle borders and a clean orange background (although this can vary quite a bit). Miamis are bred to have a very clean gray background, as in no orange between the saddles. Hatchling classics always have the appearance yours does; orange blotches in between the saddles that are much more vivid at the neck and fade down the body. The saddles at this stage are also much darker than they will be as they grow. If you check out one of my progression threads, you can sort of see this effect.

I hope that helped. How much do you know about the various traits and how they're inherited? If you haven't already checked it out, here's a pretty sweet page to determine what you would get from any pairing: http://www.corncalc.com/ I use it all the time to figure out what I could potentially produce. It also has some general info about genetics.

That helped alot! The fact that they change so much from baby to adult in coloring was throwing me way off. This will be my first year actually reading into the different morphs and trying to understand genetics. That calculator will do me some good here as I plan my next years breeding :0
